Artem Mikulich

I’m an Azure Solutions Architect with 15+ years in cloud strategy, lift & shift migrations, and cloud modernization. I work across banking and insurance while engaging customers worldwide, including C-level stakeholders, to define what “good” looks like and how to deliver it.

I lead pre-sales and technical discovery end-to-end—running 30+ client workshops, translating requirements into cloud architectures, and producing architecture artifacts, PoCs, and demos. I apply the Well-Architected Framework and Azure Landing Zone practices (subscriptions, management groups) to set foundations for scalable delivery.

My delivery record blends availability, compliance, and measurable outcomes: multi-region migrations delivering 99.99% availability, security and compliance alignment (NIST, GDPR) with vulnerability scanning (Microsoft Defender), and proof-of-concepts such as Azure OpenAI integration that reduced manual effort by 80%. I also drive operational improvements through monitoring and faster incident response, cutting reaction time from 24 hours to 2 minutes.

I’m passionate about engineering standards—Infrastructure as Code with Bicep and YAML, architecture decision records (ADR), and reducing technical debt through Architecture-as-a-Process. As a Udemy published author (Infrastructure as Code, Bicep) and a current Executive MBA student, I bring both practical execution and leadership mindset to every engagement.
